Vanity is a poisonous wine that kills happiness

Many people have devoted countless time, energy, happiness and even life for the crown, weeds, and even for some vague honors!From this point of view, vanity is not just a poisonous wine that kills happiness, but even a poison that kills life.

There are two popular stories, one is foreign and the other is Chinese.

Foreign originated from Greece's Iliad.It is about before the Trojan War, when the king of Thesalia and the goddess Thetis got married, she forgot to invite the "Goddess of Dissent" Elis, which made her dissatisfied, so she left a golden apple at the banquet with the words "For the most beautiful people".So, the queen Hera,wisdomThe goddess Athena and the god of love Aphrodite both argued that they were the most beautiful people and wanted to win the golden apple.They found Paris, the prince of Troy, as the referee, and asked him to decide who is the most beautiful person.Paris rejected the request of the queen and the goddess of wisdom and gave the golden apple to the god of love.The God of Love gave him the peerless beauty Helen.So the ten-year-long Trojan War broke out.

The story of China is a real thing that happened in the Spring and Autumn Period.According to "Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn Annals: Second 2", during the reign of King Jing of Qi, there were Gongsuns who were arrogant and looked down on Yan Ying.Yan Ying wanted to get rid of it for a long time.At a state banquet, Yan Ying took the opportunity to pick two golden peaches and asked Duke Jing of Qi to reward three warriors with their merits to eat peaches.As a result, the three warriors committed suicide because they were dissatisfied with each other and abandoned Tao.

These two stories are different, but in essence, and the consequences are extremely cruel and serious.This was an avoidable tragedy, but because of the vain stimulation of a "beautiful" golden apple and two "meritorious" golden peaches, the three goddesses and three warriors were aroused suspicion, jealousy and hatred between each other.The goddess of dispute and Yan Ying's plan to kill people by using a knife was also implemented.Their purpose of revenge was achieved, but what was left was the cruel war and the death of warriors.

In fact, these two stories have not ended yet and are still happening in every corner of the world.For example, an advanced indicator, a professional quota, a special prize, and a year-end red envelope are used to evaluate who is the most beautiful and who has the greatest achievements in the unit and the group.In the face of such vanity, most of them

None of them are better than the three goddesses and three warriors, but as a result, their own happiness is killed.

Seeing the true nature of golden apples and golden peaches and splashing out the poisonous wine that is easy to kill happiness is the right way to be calm and free.
